Vipoo Srivilasa's upcoming exhibition at Edwina Corlette 'Iconic Figures: Devas, Deities and Divas' has been featured in an article for Colossal titled 'Terracotta and Gold Figures by Vipoo Srivilasa Conjure Joy and the Divine' by Grace Ebert. Colossal is an online art magazine that celebrates contemporary art and visual culture across a wide range of creative disciplines.
"Joy and the possibilities of creative communion ground the practice of Vipoo Srivilasa (previously). The artist, who lives and works between Australia and Thailand, is known for his ceramic sculptures that take an ebullient approach to life.
Standing between one and two feet tall, Srivilasa’s figures are clad in floral baubles, mandala-like motifs, and gold details, often with their fingers shaped like a V. The lively characters invoke both the mundane and the divine as they portray aspects of the spiritual world while firmly rooted on the earth."
